OK, I remember lots of Northern Euro bikinis at the pool. I'm not a camera expert but I think the Go Pro is clearer. Maybe you should try using it but for shorter shoots when it's hot with the wind guard on it. It seems to have better resolution.

And the last time I was on Ios was.....NEVER! It was called Party Island back in the eighties and for that reason I avoided it. Party Island rhymes with loud music, overcrowding, drunkeness, obnoxiousness, drugs et al. Why partygoers chose this island of all the Cycladic islands as their Mecca, I have no idea but I never gave it the benefit of the doubt.

What a nice little island for those wanting serenity. Also, humans have been on the island long before the emergence of classical Greece, which is ancient to us.

@BoogieBubble Жыл бұрын

Yes Tom. Cyclades had a civilization before the minoans in Crete ( Early bronze age ) , then the mycenean civilization came to be in mainland Greece and much much later was the classical era of Greece everyone knows about. We have many sites too of paleolithic and neolithic civilizations in mainland Greece. I guess it was the climate , the sea , the rivers and the fertile soil that kept spawning these little pockets of people that thrived for their era.

@TimL_ Жыл бұрын

Do not be fooled, Ios is in fact a notorious party destination for high school seniors and college students. Very beautiful, but not the best place for serenity at the peak of summer. There are ruins of Neolithic settlements of what is today called the cycladic civilization on many islands of this cluster. From the remnants of their art one can tell they were civilized people. Look up cycladic statue, they look like modern-day minimalist sculptures, incredible.

I visited Ios early September a couple of years back and was lucky to find a local festival being held at Palaiokastro. It is one of my best memories from all of my travels. Btw August 15th is a big holiday in Greece and i'm willing to bet that most islands will have some sort of festivity. If you are still in Greece by then you should check if there is one, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Slowly but steadily, Gabriel tracks his path to be a Greek citizen. He started to say Greek words more often, he tries hard at least. I even suspect that he got the hair cut in a Greek barbers shop 😁 edit 1 : Previously, I commented after only some minutes in the video. So, Gabriel got a hair cut for 15 euros (Santorini prices), in other islands with such money he would also have the beard trimmed as well. edit 2 : Gabriel Traveler is maybe the top hiker in sandals on rough terrain in Greece (lol).

Gabriel love the haircut...regarding your DJ I camera let it sit in a bowl of uncooked dry rice. Cover the camera completely. The rice soaks up the moisture. Keep it in covered dry rice for 48 hrs. It also works for cell phones that have fallen in water. If you are travelling in the next few days just store it with the rice in a ziplock bag. Make sure it is covered. Heading to Greece next spring thanks to your vids and excellent travelling advice! Cheers from your long time follower in Saskachewan Canada

Don't know which island you are on now, but my advice is to somehow find your way to Kythira island. It is not very touristy and I'm pretty sure you will have no problem finding accomodation. It is a unique island that is situated in the crossroads between Crete, the Cyclades, the Saronic Islands and the Peloponnese and has something from each. Another idea is to complete your exploration of Crete. If I'm not mistaken you have been there only once before and not for a very long time. Another place you wont have a problem finding accomodation as it is so big. The wild and not touristy East Crete will certainly be of your liking.

Absolutely nothing is the same since the last time I was there. Granted it has been years, but still....the old charm is completely gone. At the time I felt like the people, more specifically the women, were very suppressed, now, of course, this obviously isn't the case. Modernization, I suppose, is a good thing. I'm thinking I should feel blessed I was able to visit the "old" IOS, I stayed 6 months. I have the fondest of memories that now, even with a visit, would not be brought back to me, and still, IOS is absolutely beautiful and much more convenient to all the visitors who now come to this island.
